Praxair Inc.
ALFA entered into a multi-year confidential consulting agreement with Praxair to supply dedicated engineering and technical services that included developing both domestic and global marketing strategies coupled with conducting in-plant real-world economic client-based operational studies and analysis. The main business focus was to develop steel industry reheat furnace applications that involved both oxygen enrichment and oxy-fuel combustion systems. These targeted opportunities involved both existing and new facilities. Additional activities surrounding the consulting agreement were to include both preparation and presentation of engineered solutions as applied to specific client based industrial applications. ALFA applied mathematical multi-dimensional FEA heat transfer analysis with analytical / diagnostic plant services to assist in quantifying and qualifying the economic justifications for applying oxy-fuel technologies.
